As you approach the challenge of building a compliance data dashboard, recall how **pandas** enables you to efficiently analyze transaction data and how **matplotlib** helps you visualize patterns that may be relevant for compliance monitoring. These tools are essential for summarizing large datasets, identifying anomalies, and communicating findings to stakeholders in a compliance context.

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Hardcoded transaction data
data = {
    "id": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8],
    "amount": [1200, 500, 3200, 1500, 700, 2200, 4000, 800],
    "account_id": ["A01", "A02", "A01", "A03", "A02", "A01", "A03", "A02"]
}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)

# Calculate summary statistics
total_amount = df["amount"].sum()
average_amount = df["amount"].mean()
max_amount = df["amount"].max()

print("Total transaction amount:", total_amount)
print("Average transaction amount:", average_amount)
print("Maximum transaction amount:", max_amount)

# Aggregate by account for bar chart
account_totals = df.groupby("account_id")["amount"].sum()
account_totals.plot(kind="bar", title="Total Transaction Amounts per Account")
plt.xlabel("Account ID")
plt.ylabel("Total Amount")
plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()

# Identify anomalies: transactions > 2 std dev above mean
mean_amount = df["amount"].mean()
std_amount = df["amount"].std()
anomaly_threshold = mean_amount + 2 * std_amount
anomalies = df[df["amount"] > anomaly_threshold]

print("Transactions above anomaly threshold (2 std dev):")
print(anomalies)

To structure your compliance dashboard, follow a clear sequence: start by loading and summarizing your transaction data, using **pandas** to calculate totals and averages. Next, use **matplotlib** to visualize aggregated results, such as total transactions per account, to spot trends or concentrations. Finally, apply statistical analysis to flag any transactions that are unusually large—those that are more than two standard deviations above the mean—helping you quickly detect potential compliance risks.
